Are we on a path to totalitarianism?
This week we're in conversation with Timothy Erik Strom, Jacob Grech and  Lizzy O'Shea; contemplating our political trajectory towards a state of totalitarianism. 
 
"... the democracies of the future will change their nature; the quaint old forms – elections, parliaments, supreme courts and all the rest – will remain but the underlying substance will be a new kind of totalitarianism."  Aldous Huxley, Brave New World Revisited, 1958 
 
Join 3CR Wednesday Breakfast 7am - 8:30am September 26th, as the team discuss the current trajectory and future alternatives. LISTEN IN @: 855AM, 3CR Digital OR Streaming live https://www.3cr.org.au/streaming The future is not yet defined. It is emergent. And within that emergence anything is possible.
